The 26th edition of one of the most important cinema festivals in Asia returns with their high-quality, international films, as well as some new ventures: for one, this year is exploring new filmmakers of Asia with a new category, dubbed “Asian Future,” and young independent Japanese cinematic perspectives with their “Japanese Cinema Splash” category. As usual, they will also be screening films that have not yet been released on this side of the world, and will also continue their ‘eco-friendly’ activities, complete with a green carpet, mobile ticketing and donations to various environmental causes.
